1 "They think that they can remove HAL and still have stuff like USB
2 hotplugging/automounting working",in Xorg 1.8, udev will replace HAL . we
3 can use devicekit-disks package to mount USB stick or CD,USE polkit-gnome or
4 ntfs3g to mount NTFS filesystem. so HAL is not needed.may be modify
5 gnome-mount ebuild ,remove HAL depedency and put it in local OVERLAY .maybe
6 slove the problem.
